Hotel Le Plantagenet  

We were on our way to Paris from Bordeaux and needed to stop. We looked up the town of Chinon, and then hotels. This was a lovely little hotel. It was snowing bad and we were glad to arrive. They gave us a restaurant recommendation and we were set. Breakfast the next morning was good as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice old fashioned hotel in a good location, comfortable beds, nice linen and whilst the bathroom suite was dated it was clean, very serviceable, and lovely and spacious. Hair dryer, tea/coffee, tv - all the things one looks forward to when away from home. Breakfast was excellent - lots of choice, lovely fresh products and huge selection - well worth taking as an extra. Owner provided information on Chinon without asking for it and was on hand to answer any questions. Local dining seemed a bit limited at this time of year and expensive for what was on offer, but maybe recall France as it used to be! Great location for a short break, or as a stopping off point. Thoroughly recommend this establishment

Good location, friendly staff, nice rooms, great beakfast. reasonable cost. would certainly consider a return visit.

We loved that we could write to them and ask them for a room where we could turn off the radiators at night, open a window and have a cool, quiet, comfortable sleep and they did it!!! The room was huge, comfortable, bed, just what we wanted, lovely staff, cute cat...great location...at the end of our holiday, where we had stayed in three other hotels in three other cities and not gotten what we wanted, this was heaven! We paid half of what we paid, at a discount, for Domaine St Hilaire and that was like sleeping at an etap, this was a gorgeous place to be and will will most definitely be back, and bring family with us to view the Chateaux around the Loire!

The exceptional standard and comfort of Hotel Le Plantagent which though was only classified 2 * had all the warmth and comforts of hotels of much higher standing. The owners/managers have given thought to the well- being of their guests, such as providing a separate small lounge with tea and coffee making facilities which other more expensive hotels could emulate. It was a joy to take breakfast in the conservatory with the garden outlook and the bounteous breakfast choice was a good surprise. Our room was big with a kingsized bed and a single sofabed, and our spacious bathroom had a bath tub. However, it would be wise to ask for a ground floor room if you have a lot of luggage, but since we were only on a week-end break we had no trouble being on the first floor with our luggage. We had a memorable meal at a sea-food restaurant called " L'Oceanic" on 13 rue Rabelais. It was Michelin recommended and deservedly so as the owners/managers take great pride in giving impeccable 5* service in elegant surroundings at their establishment. The food was superb as was the price /quality ratio starting at 24 euros for a 4 course meal. The combination of good hotel and great food at attractive prices made for a wonderful stay in Chinon, which is a gem of a small town with lots of history and things to see.

One of ther best value for money hotels we have stayed in during several trips to France. Very helpful lady at reception, room simple but very adequate and very clean.

The location was excellent. The room and bathroom were very large, not just by French standards. Lighting in the bathroom was excellent. There was a small laundry for the use of guests and when the fuse blew when I put in my second load of washing with the dryer running the owner helped me take the dryer load to the hotel dryer to finish drying. This was our fourth visit to Chinon and if we go back again I will choose this hotel.

The staff were excellent,very helpful and informative of the local area.

Very pleasant and helpful staff and comfortable room - we did like all the beams but they did make the bathroom ceiling rather low if you are tall. Wonderful view from our room over the city and towards the castle.

excellent staff and service.Very good coffee!

The staff were extremely friendly. We were greeted and encouraged to have a cup of tea/coffee after our bike ride. The hotel was a stop for other cyclists and therefore made the environment very friendly. Great breakfast.

The hotel is greatly located, the staff is very friendly. Rooms are lovely. So we had an excellent stay.

Laid back friendly staff, nice atmosphere and they have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. I would definately stay there again and recommend this hotel.
